Every time a USA-themed holiday rolls around - Memorial Day, the Fourth, Labor Day - I love leaning into the red, white, and blueberry vibes with a refreshing, hormone-friendly treat that feels just as fun as it does nourishing.
Enter: the festive acai bowl. It’s cool, creamy, antioxidant-packed, and totally customizable. And yes, I made mine into a little fruit flag because why not make it cute and good for you?
Here’s why I love it (and why my midlife clients do too): acai is rich in antioxidants, supports energy, and delivers that summer-sweet flavor without the blood sugar crash. The spinach adds fiber and nutrients you’ll never taste. The protein keeps it balanced and satisfying. It’s the kind of thing that looks like a treat but fuels like a meal.
If your mornings have been heavy, your energy is dragging, or you’re just tired of the same old protein shake, this is a fun way to mix things up without sacrificing your goals.
Here’s how to make it:
Acai Base
1 frozen acai packet
½ cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
1 scoop vanilla protein powder - I use FASTer Way Hydrobeef
1 cup frozen wild blueberries
1 handful organic baby spinach
Fruit Toppings (pick your faves):
Sliced bananas, strawberries, blueberries, mango, pineapple, kiwi
Optional Extras:
Vanilla granola, coconut flakes, chia seeds, flax seeds, cocoa nibs, mini chocolate chips, peanut butter, honey
Instructions:
Blend the acai packet, milk, protein, blueberries, and spinach until smooth. Pour into a bowl, top with fresh fruit and any extras that make you smile. Serve immediately.
This is one of those easy wins that hits all the marks: fun, functional, and full of feel-good ingredients. Let me know if you make it...and tag me in a pic if you go for the flag version -> @amycainefitness
